Nasa finds evidence of a vast ancient ocean on Mars

“Ridiculous — a decade ago many scientists didn’t believe that Mars was dry, and this particular view doesn’t radically rewrite anything, because it’s a regurgitation of an old fantasy, reaching back at least as far as Schiaparelli and Lowell.”

It certainly is not a “fantasy” in any respect. It is solid evidence of the old seas on Mars. If you want to say otherwise, you need to support the claim with an explanation of how nearly all of the other large bodies of the Solar System acquired enough water to fill sea basins with water, but Mars did not.

Or maybe crossing orbital paths, and occasional swapped orbits over the long millennia. That could explain the ice ages, and Noah's flood.
